A person who has adrenal insufficiency should always carry identification stating his or her condition in case of an emergency. The card should alert emergency personnel about the need to inject 100 mg of cortisol if its bearer is found severely injured or unable to answer questions. The card should also include the doctors name and telephone number and the name and telephone number of the nearest relative to be notified. When traveling, it is important to have a needle, syringe, and an injectable form of cortisol for emergencies. A person with Addisons disease also should know how to increase medication during periods of stress or mild upper respiratory infections. Immediate medical attention is needed when severe infections or vomiting or diarrhea occur. These conditions can precipitate an addisonian crisis. A patient who is vomiting may require injections of hydrocortisone.

In an additional randomized study of subjects 12 years of age and older with
mild to moderate plaque-type psoriasis, 253 subjects were treated with Olux-E (clobetasol propionate foam)
Foam and 123 subjects were treated with Vehicle Foam. Subjects were treated
twice daily for two weeks. At the end of treatment, 41 of 253 subjects (16%)
treated with Olux-E (clobetasol propionate foam) Foam compared with 5 of 123 subjects (4%) treated with Vehicle
Foam achieved treatment success. Treatment success was defined by an Investigator's
Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with
at least 2 grades improvement from baseline, scores of none or faint/minimal
(0 or 1) for erythema and scaling , and a score of none (0) for plaque thickness.
